David Weinberg Gallery is presenting Who Gets What: A Political Show, opening Friday
September 5, 2008 from 5-8pm.

This show will act as a catalyst to open dialogue during this politically significant time. Taking on issues of race, stereotypes, war, middle-class culture, consumption and fear, our group of 7 artists, featuring 4 from Chicago, utilize their unique forms of visual communication to transcend polarizing rhetoric in order to expose the relevance of our deeper common concerns.

Artists included  are David Opdyke, Lisa Solomon, Sonja Thomsen, Peter and Marilyn Frank; aka, The Franks, and introducing  Krista Wortendyke and Michael Ratulowski. There will be an artist talk featuring Wortendyke and Ratulowski  along with a curators tour on Saturday October 11 from 11am to noon in conjunction with Chicago Artist Month.
The show runs through October 18, 2008.
David Weinberg Gallery is located at 300 W Superior Street Suite 203, Chicago IL 60654 P:312.529.5090
